About this episode
Harry speaks again with Marc Elias, the nation’s most important election-law lawyer, about some of the sharpest challenges on the current landscape and that he anticipates will come our way once Trump takes office. There is a battle being waged in North Carolina, where the Democratic candidate won an election, verified by two recounts, but the Republican party is looking retroactively to invalidate some 60,000 votes. That contest should be receiving more attention than it has, both in its own right and as a possible harbinger of brass-knuckle tactics to come. The two then switch gears to talk about the continuing appeasement of Trump by traditional media, based on its larger corporate interest. Elias offers a number of thoughts about the dangers of the development and what we all can do about it.
